Ijebu and Ilajes are Yoruba sub-ethnicities just like awori and the rest
If you go by that, then Kafanchan, kagoro, kataf and manchock are the same.

Good compilation. I live in rivers state...I didn't see Ikwerre in d list. I know igbos will be claiming them but from what I learnt in linguistics n history, they are not igbos.

How can all these tribes unite and live as one
Nigeria is a typical exam of the bible story, where the people were building pillars upon pillars jst to see God grin so God taught of a way of confusing them, n gave them diverse languages cheesy and they were never united.

Bali is not a tribe but a local government in taraba wherein you have chamba, ichen, jukun, jibu, wurkum, tiv, etc.
Many tribes ascribed to adamawa are actuality for taraba eg tigun, ichen etc
No single mention of Gombe and Nasarawa states. Why?

Fulani is not in the list, so how come they are one of the major tribes in the north?
Did you omit it?

Bubu will not be happy about this.
